{"product_id":"auroral-phenomenology-and-magnetospheric-processes-isbn-9780875904870","title":"Auroral Phenomenology and Magnetospheric Processes","description":"Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 197.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany of the most basic aspects of the aurora remain unexplained. While in the past terrestrial and planetary auroras have been largely treated in separate books, \u003ci\u003eAuroral Phenomenology and Magnetospheric Processes: Earth and Other Planets\u003c\/i\u003e takes a holistic approach, treating the aurora as a fundamental process and discussing the phenomenology, physics, and relationship with the respective planetary magnetospheres in one volume. While there are some behaviors common in auroras of the different planets, there are also striking differences that test our basic understanding of auroral processes. The objective, upon which this monograph is focused, is to connect our knowledge of auroral morphology to the physical processes in the magnetosphere that power and structure discrete and diffuse auroras. Understanding this connection will result in a more complete explanation of the aurora and also further the goal of being able to interpret the global auroral distributions as a dynamic map of the magnetosphere. The volume synthesizes five major areas: auroral phenomenology, aurora and ionospheric electrodynamics, discrete auroral acceleration, aurora and magnetospheric dynamics, and comparative planetary aurora. Covering the recent advances in observations, simulation, and theory, this book will serve a broad community of scientists, including graduate students, studying auroras at Mars, Earth, Saturn, and Jupiter. Projected beyond our solar system, it may also be of interest for astronomers who are looking for aurora-active exoplanets.  \u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eKeiling, Andreas; Donovan, Eric; Bagenal, Fran; Karlsson, Tomas\u003c\/i\u003e  pp. ix-x\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Comparative Auroral Physics: Earth and Other Planets\u003cbr\u003e Mauk, Barry; Bagenal, Fran  pp. 3-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Auroral Morphology: A Historical Account and Major Auroral Features During Auroral Substorms\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAkasofu, S.-I.\u003c\/i\u003e  pp. 29-38\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAuroral Substorms, Poleward Boundary Activations, Auroral Streamers, Omega Bands, and Onset Precursor Activity\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eHenderson, M.

However, Mars and Venus have no global intrinsic magnetic field, yet they possess induced magnetotails. Comets have a magnetotail that is formed by the draping of the interplanetary magnetic field. In the case of planetary satellites (moons), the magnetotail refers to the wake region behind the satellite in the flow of either the solar wind or the magnetosphere of its parent planet. The largest magnetotail in our solar system is the heliotail, the “magnetotail” of the heliosphere. The great differences in solar wind conditions, planetary rotation rates, ionospheric conductivity, and physical dimensions provide an outstanding opportunity to extend our understanding of the influence of these factors on magnetotail processes and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVolume highlights include:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA discussion of why a magnetotail is a fundamental issue in magnetospheric physics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA unique collection of tutorials that cover a large range of magnetotails in our solar system\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA comparative approach to magnetotail phenomena, including reconnection, current sheet, rotation rate, plasmoids, and flux robes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA review of global simulation studies of the effect of ionospheric outflow on the magnetosphere-ionosphere system dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMagnetotails in the Solar System\u003c\/i\u003e brings together for the first time in one book a collection of tutorials and current developments addressing different types of magnetotails.
